    | The great tragedy of the past two decades, though has been that most
    | technology company CEOs resort to using H-1B visas to reduce their
    | overhead costs and goose earnings per share in the short term. Musk
    | has certainly followed suit and contributed to this calamity; see
    | the number of H-1B visas Tesla sponsoredhere.

    | Aside from Twitter announcing major layoffs this week,many tech
    | companies, including some of the FAANGS (Facebook, Amazon,
    | Apple,Netflix and Google) are also making significant workforce
    | reductions, or like Apple and Amazon, have imposed hiring freezes.
    | Even though unemployment data seems to indicate laid off workers are
    | readily being absorbed back into the labor market, rumors abound of
    | rough times ahead for the technology industry.

    Will Ken Griffin allow Ron DeSantis to run to Trump's right on the
    National Question by arguing for to make immigration safe, legal and
    rare?
